The charity that I have selected for this November is the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation. The Toys for Tots Foundation collects new toys during the end of the year and distributes them as gifts for needy children during Christmas.

“The mission of the U. S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots Program is to collect new, unwrapped toys during October, November and December each year, and distribute those toys as Christmas gifts to needy children in the community in which the campaign is conducted.” – Toys for Tots Mission

“The primary goal of Toys for Tots is to deliver, through a new toy at Christmas, a message of hope to less fortunate youngsters that will assist them in becoming responsible, productive, patriotic citizens.” – Toys for Tots Goal

The Toys for Tots Foundation does great work during the holidays to provide a little happiness and glimmer of hope to those children who are less fortunate. A brand new toy can go a long way for a child as a happy memory and hope. It can also be an important part to the development of the child socially and physically depending on the aspects of the toy.

As a company we are putting a brand new Porter Cable Buffer up for auction on Ebay with 100% of the proceeds going to the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation. This is a nice little charitable donation that we are doing for the holidays and a way for our customers to get involved, knowing that all proceeds will be donated.

Locally, schools in my area are doing “Stuff the Bus for Toys for Tots” drives, where they try to fill a bus full of new toys. This is fun little way to promote Toys for Tots and I’m going to have to stop by one of the locations at some point to donate a toy.

Year after year the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation makes a difference to needy children, find out how you can help Toys for Tots this holiday season.
